Treadwell for Ross

I don't think necessarily think that's true. I think it has more to do that neither has had the playing time to develop chemistry with Dalton. Also I will give you two examples where both players made nice plays on the ball.
Ross his TD against Baltimore last season and Malone his TD against the Colts in 17.

What I'm very specifically meaning when I say neither Ross and Malone do well is "climbing the ladder" to high-point the ball, and I think when Dalton tries to throw the ball very deep (e.g. like 50 yards downfield) he lofts it and it often requires a WR to come back to the ball and have to "climb the ladder" to get it.

In the case of Ross's TD catch, he didn't go up and get it. He caught on his upper-right shoulder on a 22-yard pass.

In the case of the Malone TD catch, he went down to his knees to catch a pass in the end zone on a 25-yard pass.

I just watched those specific TDs on YouTube to confirm that's what happened.

Dalton doesn't usually loft passes under 30 yards. I have noticed him lofting passes that are (much) deeper than that, like the one that was very underthrown to Josh Malone in the first preseason game that was (I believe) ~50-60 yards.
